I love this thread!! Two years after my diagnosis: I no longer pass out when I simply try to stand up. I am free from my migraines, neuropathy and heart palpatations. I have become an even better cook and eat healthier than I ever did before. My recent biopsy shows I now have a normal small intestine when my original showed Marsh 4 destruction...

Hi there, There is a really good cookbook that I've found which is all gluten and dairy free, called Cooking for Isaiah, by Silvana Nardone. It was written for her son who has dairy and gluten intolerance. I've tried tons of her recipes and they are yummy! Best Chocolate chip cookie recipe I've found so far also the best doughnuts I've had gluten free...

I have used Apple Cider Vinegar for Gerd and it does work in a short period of time, but oh is it nasty going down!

Have you had all of your vitamin levels checked? Many vitamin deficiencies can cause constipation. I was severely constipated for several months when I had never had any issues before...in fact I always had the opposite issue. After checking my levels it turned out I was B12 deficient. Since starting treatment I am back to normal. Hope you find something...

Also, just saw in your post about your anxiety which can also be a symptom of low B12. I found myself panicking and having insomnia and had no clue of why. I had never been an anxious person before the low B12.

Hi there! Has anyone checked your B12 level yet? Chest pain, palpatations,tachycardia, and peripheral neuropathy can all be symptoms of low B12. I was diagnosed with celiac disease two years ago and could not figure out why I was having all of these strange symptoms still. My endocrinologist was the first Dr to check B12 and sure enough that was the...

You might want to check out DOSA if you like Indian food. I ate there and they were very aware of gluten-free and CC. By the way, so jealous you are going to Pica Pica. I still have dreams of their maizewich!!

Hi there, Sorry you are feeling low. One thing I wanted to mention is you may want to have your Dr. check all of your vitamin levels if you have not already. I was diagnosed two years ago and was doing great is at first then felt miserable again on and off for the past year. I had thought maybe I was getting accidently glutened or even worse maybe this...

Hi All, I am having to switch birth control as my current pill is too strong and has started to cause me to have tachycardia and insomnia. Since I am getting older my Dr. recommended I use a low dose pill and gave me some samples of Lo Loestrin Fe which he said most people do not have any side effects from. I spoke to the manufacturer and they told me...

Hi there! My husband and I went to the Bahamas last year and had a great trip. We stayed at Sandals and not Atlantis, however I have stayed at Atlantis before my diagnosis and we did actually visit Atlantis last year during our trip. I did eat at the sports bar while we were visiting and when I told them I had Celiac disease they sent the kitchen manager...

Wheww!!! Thanks so much for the response Michelle!

Oh wow, I am going on a overseas cruise myself in the fall and had no idea they would not allow you to bring your gluten-free snacks on the excursions. I understand not bringing fruit and things like that off the ship, but how dangerous is a packaged protein bar??

Based on you feeling flu-like, other pains within your body and a positive ANA it sounds like my friend's symptoms with Lupus. I know it is more unusual for men to have it, but you may want to get a second opinion from another rheumatologist especially since your ANA test was positive.

I have to say your post really speaks to where I am at myself right now. I was diagnosed almost two years ago and seemed to be improving gradually, but in the past few months my health has been in a downward spiral. It seems like I continually have an endless abyss of issues cropping up and I have no answers as to why. I understand how frustrating it is...

I had mine out in 2009..a year before I was diagnosed with Celiac disease. My GB issues were also due to low function (13%). I definitely think there is a connection between Celiac disease and GB issues. There are so many of us that have had issues with low functioning GB's. When I was finally diagnosed with Celiac Disease the damage they saw was Marsh...
